I wonder how 50:50 is achieved when the engine and gear box are all up front...
The weight distribution of a vehicle or any object, does not change whether it is standing still or in motion so is the "Proper" weight distribution regardless of circumstances.

Suspension and drivetrain tuning affect the dynamics and work with the balance to provide the desired driving experience.
